MTL - Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 549 Encounter after more than 50 years
Are you sure the people here really have no problems? I won't want to arrest you anymore, will I? " Li Wenxi asked with some concern.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, here are all our own people, I've confirmed it, it's all right."
At this time, Li Wenxi and Xu Ying were in a tall building.
Moreover, it was exactly what Li Wenxi had seen before, one of the three tallest towering buildings in the city.
The two of them were in the elevator at this moment, ascending towards the high floor at a very high speed.
The entire high-rise building has two hundred floors, and the height is eight or nine hundred meters by visual inspection. The elevator is still on the outside of the building. Through the transparent elevator body, you can see the city that is falling at a high speed.
"Then...then I can trust you, people who have lived for hundreds of years should not mess up..." Li Wenxi lay on the transparent glass and looked outside, while muttering, "But why did you have to go so far?" It’s upstairs, can’t you change the place, you can’t even run away from here.”
"People who are hundreds of years old..." Xu Ying's mouth twitched slightly, dissatisfied, "Can you stop talking about me like that, although I am indeed hundreds of years old, but my body is very young!"
"Yes, yes... which floor are we going to?" Li Wenxi looked at the elevator floor. In such a short time, the elevator has gone up nearly a hundred floors.
"Why are you like my brother!" Xu Ying complained, and then said, "Of course it's the top floor, and I'll bring you here, so naturally I'll take you directly to the most important place to discuss with the most important people !"
"Who... who is it? What is it doing here, can you tell me?" Li Wenxi leaned over and asked in a low voice.
She was suddenly teleported to this building by Xu Ying just now, and she got on the elevator before she even figured out what was going on.
She always felt that in this elevator, she was being peeped and eavesdropped, so her voice subconsciously became softer.
"Hey, you might be surprised if I told you, but this is the symbolic building of a family in charge of military power in the human base." Xu Ying was also influenced by Li Wenxi, and whispered with a smirk.
"Army...Military?" Li Wenxi was taken aback, "Does that have many high-tech weapons?"
"Well...it's quite a lot." Xu Ying nodded her lips and said while thinking, "After all, this is the family supported by my elder brother. In order to become a force against the alien invaders on the ground in the future, he did not Less work."
"Your brother..." Li Wenxi was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that she was talking about Xu Xin who had disappeared, and then she was a little worried, "Then there is no your brother now, they are so strong, you can guarantee them..."
"Don't worry, they and I have the same interests." Xu Ying is very confident, "I and their generation of Patriarchs had friendship fifty or sixty years ago. We were very close at that time, so close that my brother I'm going to be jealous, hehe, but he's almost eighty now, right? I can't believe what he looks like..."
Li Wenxi blinked.
This is really a bit strange.
I don't know how that guy will feel when he sees Xu Ying, who is still a girl.
"Is it... a military base?" Li Wenxi asked, looking at the display of the elevator that had jumped to the 150th floor.
"How is that possible? Who would build a military base on such a tall building?" Xu Ying shook her head.
"Then here..."
"Oh, you'll know when you go up, so don't be too nervous, sister-in-law, this is just a... um, a landmark building?"
As she spoke, she pointed to the other two tall buildings outside.
"Same as those two towers, it symbolizes the three pillars of the aristocratic family. In fact, these three tall buildings basically only serve this purpose, and basically have no effect. They even open as tourist attractions during the peak season."
"There is still this kind of operation..."
"But it's not the peak season now, it's not open, and in terms of secrecy, it's very strong here. After all, although it's a symbol, it must be done well, right?
. "Xu Ying knocked on the transparent glass of the elevator, "Don't look at us. The outside is transparent. You can't see us from the outside. This is one-sided glass."
"Then what we're going to meet is..."
"Ding!"
There was a crisp sound, and the elevator door opened.
"Just come and see." Xu Ying pulled Li Wenxi out of the elevator.
As soon as the elevator came out, there was a door. Xu Ying stretched out her hand to push the door open, and pulled Li Wenxi into it.
As the highest floor of a building with a height of 800-900 meters, the area here is not too large.
Although the area of the first floor is not small, the top is steeple-like. From a height of about 700 meters, the area begins to shrink layer by layer. Finally, on the top floor, there is only an area without a hundred square meters. up.
The style here is very serious, a huge solid wood long table surrounded by a circle of solid wood chairs, a huge white curtain hung on the wall, and several projectors on the ceiling.
It looks like a serious conference room.
At this time, there were two people sitting on the main seat and the deputy seat of the conference table.
One of them is an old man with gray hair, deep forehead lines on his forehead, and two straight and thick eyebrows that are already pale, giving people a strong sense of majesty, a feeling of being in a high position all year round.
And the passenger seat was indeed a girl who was about the same age as the two of them, somewhat similar in appearance to the old man.
Even when she was sitting there, her body was upright and she had a good face. Her short black hair only reached the earlobe, but her face was expressionless and serious.
Seeing Xu Ying pushing the door and entering, the two sitting people also stood up.
The originally majestic old man showed a joyful and surprised expression: "Yingying, it's really you, you really... haven't changed at all."
Xu Ying's eyes widened: "God, you...you're getting so old!"
Although fifty or sixty years had passed in this world, it was not that long for Xu Ying.
She came here through time, the last time she saw this person in front of her, to her, it was just...
Just a few days ago.
"It's been fifty-five years, and I'm already eighty years old. How can I not be old?" The old man sighed, "I never expected to see you again before I die."
"Wow..." Although Xu Ying had already expected it in her heart, she still couldn't accept it. She looked at the girl next to the old man, "This can't be..."
"This is my granddaughter, her name is Wei Shishi." The old man introduced the girl beside him to Xu Ying, and the girl bowed her head slightly.
"My God, you already have a granddaughter!" Xu Ying said in surprise.
Although she has done things like crossing time many times, it is a bit shocking to see people she is familiar with grow old and have children and grandchildren at the same time.
"Haha, it's been more than 50 years." The old man looked at Li Wenxi who had been silent and looked at him curiously, and said with a smile, "Is this the person you said could help us through the difficulties? "
"That's right, this is my sister-in-law!" Xu Ying immediately pulled her to her side, raised her head and introduced.
"Ah, hello!" Li Wenxi quickly responded, "My name is Li Wenxi."
"Hello. Your sister-in-law...?" The old man was taken aback, "Didn't your brother already..."
"Yeah, hey, it's a good thing you still remember what happened more than fifty years ago." Xu Ying smiled, "It's a long story, but she is indeed the person my brother likes, and she also With special abilities, it will definitely help you.”
When the old man saw the very young girl next to Xu Ying, he didn't have too much confidence.
But now that she heard that she was Xu Xin's sweetheart, her cloudy eyes suddenly lit up: "That's great, Miss Li Wenxi, we've been waiting for you to help us."
"Ah, the old man can just call me Wenxi!" Li Wenxi waved his hand immediately, "I'm just an ordinary person."
and has been
Wei Shishi, the silent girl next to the old man, looked at Li Wenxi also changed.
She said, "Grandpa said that more than 50 years ago, that girl named Xu Ying told him that about 50 or 60 years later, we will usher in a turning point in our destiny. Did you mean now?"
She has no expression all the time, even when she speaks at this time, her tone does not contain any emotion, like a lawyer who is doing business, solemn and serious.
He is more serious than the old man who looks more majestic.
Li Wenxi was so serious that she didn't know what tone to use when talking to her. She always felt that if she spoke too casually, the other party would be angry...
"Well, it should be now?" Xu Ying said ambiguously.
"Should..." Wei Shishi frowned, "Grandpa has been waiting for your news for more than 50 years, and the result is just should?"
"Shishi." The old man stopped the girl from questioning, "Don't be so rude."
"Why, it's like this all of a sudden." Xu Ying was confronted suddenly by some unfriendly, and she was also slightly dissatisfied, "Why do you feel that you have a little grudge against me? What have I done?"
"...You left suddenly back then, do you know...!"
"Shishi!" The old man's tone suddenly became serious, making Wei Shishi shut up.
She turned her head slightly and stopped talking.
Li Wenxi looked at the girl, blinked her eyes, and pursed her lips. She felt that she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
This Wei Shishi looks very serious and stylish, but when she speaks...
It gives people a sense of stubbornness of an immature little girl.
"I left suddenly?" Xu Ying was a little confused, "I should have said hello before I left, right? How could it be considered a sudden departure."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this." The old man was a little embarrassed, glared at the granddaughter who was not talking, and then said, "Let's talk about business."
He looked at Li Wenxi: "Excuse me, how can Miss Wenxi help us get through this difficult time?"
…
On the ground, while Shi Wanyun was narrating, Lou Feier came back.
She also held a little guy curled up to sleep in her arms.
As soon as she came back, she saw Zeng Tao who was sitting beside the World Tree and was a little sullen.
"Why are you sitting here? Where's Xu Xin?" Seeing Zeng Tao hitting the ground with a small stone in her hand, Lou Feier asked a little strangely, "What are you doing? Why do you feel a little angry?"
"Of course I'm angry!" Zeng Tao immediately stood up and said bitterly, "That **** Xu Xin, he took over my tree house and didn't let me in. He didn't know that Shi Wanyun was in my tree house. What are you doing!"
"... Huh?" Lou Fei'er was taken aback for a moment, then widened her eyes, "What do you mean? Is it so explosive?"
"The two of them must be doing those shady things in there now! I can hear the voice!" Zeng Tao snorted, "If you are interested, go and have a look."
"Then I'll go and have a look now! What a ghost." Lou Fei'er rolled her eyes at Zeng Tao, "You think I'm stupid, don't you? How could Xu Xin do that kind of thing with that woman, so what's going on , Shi Wanyun agrees?"
"Why wouldn't he do that kind of thing?"
"? Am I worse than that Shi Wanyun?"
"...Hmph, you're smart."
Zeng Tao was ordered by Xu Xin, and the contract was still with her. She didn't dare to run back by herself. She wanted to take Lou Fei'er to take a look together, but the plan failed.
Walking to Lou Feier's side, he reached out to touch the cocoa in her arms, and at the same time told Lou Feier what happened just now.
"That guy has also injected medicine..." Lou Fei'er showed a teasing smile, "It seems that someone hasn't injected yet."
"...Hmph!" Zeng Tao gritted her teeth, "I sacrificed myself for the comfort of the World Tree! The World Tree cannot live without my protection!"
"Okay, um...then I'll wait for a while." Lou Feier also rubbed her arms gently
The little guy's head made the little guy "whisper" comfortably in his sleep, "I also have something to tell him, but Shi Wanyun's matter is more important."
"Oh? What's the matter with you?"
"I just found a good place." Lou Fei'er smiled mysteriously, and touched Ke Ke's little head again, "Thanks to this little guy."
…
In the tree house, Shi Wanyun was already telling her story.
"Soon, we came to the so-called baptismal place."
Speaking of this, Shi Wanyun's eyes suddenly trembled, and Xu Xin saw that her originally relaxed hands had already clenched tightly.
"There, I saw the true face of the master they said."
The master's true face, that is, the true face of the alien invader.
Xu Xin narrowed her eyes slightly and continued to listen to her story.
The place of baptism is... a place similar to an indoor hot spring.
Pushing open the door and entering, the warm mist is lingering.
This space is very large, with a height of nearly ten meters and an area of several hundred square meters. On the walls in all directions, countless light red water flows into the large pool in the center of the area like a waterfall.
The mist is also light red, and it is filled with a fragrance.
Shi Wanyun's eyes moved.
She was very familiar with this smell, it was the diluted scent of the red mist.
This baptism... Is it to make them mutate the blood lines first?
There are thirteen people in the room.
Like Shi Wanyun and Shi Wanyun, they are in groups of two.
An old member leads a newcomer.
The newcomers and the old members are very easy to distinguish. The old members can more or less see some inhuman features in their bodies, while the newcomers have none at all.
Moreover, the six newcomers were wearing exactly the same clothes as Shi Wanyun's at this time.
She had been wearing this dress since she woke up, and it should have been changed for her by No. 228.
What made her feel a little creepy was that each of these newcomers had ruddy faces, excited faces, and a little fanaticism in their eyes.
It seemed that the baptism that was about to be carried out was the wish they had been looking forward to for a long time, and this wish was about to come true.
It's like a cult scene.
…What the **** is going on with this baptism, should she run or not.
Or should we continue like this?
…No.
Among the thirteen people, there was one person who was alone, a woman who looked very mature and plump.
She doesn't have any obvious mutant features, she looks like an ordinary person.
But this woman feels very dangerous to Shi Wanyun, much more dangerous than the high-level mutant creatures outside!
Moreover, looking at No. 228's extremely respectful attitude, one can know how high this woman's status is!
no.
This woman is too dangerous, let's follow their procedures for the time being.
At least for now, she won't mutate into a monster.
Adult *** looked around at the people around, clapped his hands and said: "There are about ten minutes left, and the baptismal pool will be ready. Now that you are all here, let's start the preparations."
"yes!"
The others responded neatly, and then, No. 228 at the side reached out and touched the back of Shi Wanyun's neck.
"Ah!" Shi Wanyun exclaimed softly.
Because, under the action of No. 228, the whole set of clothes she was wearing fell off the ground.
Suddenly, she didn't have a wisp on her body.
For a moment Shi Wanyun felt insecure.
But, fortunately, it's all women here...
No. 228 took out a wet white cloth from nowhere, and began to wipe Shi Wanyun's body.
Shi Wanyun had a weird expression, the thing she wanted to ask was too much
many.
But remembering what No. 228 said before, telling her not to talk, she glanced at the mature lady who had noticed her and frowned, she could only hold back, relax her body, and let 228 No. wiped her body.
Everyone else around him is doing the same thing.
And the faces of the newcomers became even more excited.
Shi Wanyun discovered that the two newcomers already had blood-colored lines on their bodies, and they should have mutated the blood-colored lines a long time ago. Moreover, these blood-lines were flickering slightly in the light red mist.
Soon, Shi Wanyun's entire body was wiped clean.
"The time has come, let's enter the pool." The adult said.
into the pool...
Shi Wanyun was led by No. 228 to the edge of the light red pool, and then...
Before she could react, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com she was directly pushed into the pool!
With a "plop", it fell directly into the water.
And at this moment, she felt that the fierce hot air crazily drilled into her body from all the pores on the top and bottom of her body!
In an instant, her face flushed red, and she suddenly raised her head from the pool, gasping for breath.
As she panted, the faint red mist around her could not help but be inhaled in large quantities.
"What's the matter with you?" At this time, a grown-up voice came from her head.
She looked up, and saw the adult standing by the pool, looking down at her, and...
There was a dangerous red glow in his eyes.
"No. 228, what's the situation with her?" The woman's voice became slightly cold.
